Valiant Entertainment<\/strong>\u00a0is proud to announce that veteran editor, writer, and Eisner Award nominee\u00a0Karl Bollers<\/strong>has been named to the position of\u00a0Editor<\/strong>. In his new role, Bollers will assist\u00a0Valiant Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons<\/strong>\u00a0on an ongoing basis and contribute to Valiant\u2019s critically acclaimed slate of monthly titles, including\u00a0X-O MANOWAR, BLOODSHOT SALVATION, NINJA-K, QUANTUM\u00a0<\/strong>AND<\/strong>\u00a0WOODY!,<\/strong>\u00a0and others, as well as the upcoming\u00a0HARBINGER WARS 2<\/strong>\u00a0crossover event.<\/p>\n

“Valiant is fortunate to have one of the most passionate and driven collections of editorial talent working anywhere in the industry today, and Karl’s skills as an editor and storyteller have already made him a wonderful addition to the team,” said Valiant Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons. “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Karl for more than a decade and know that his instincts and experience will make him an immeasurable asset to our creators, our staff, and the Valiant Universe as a whole as we move forward to begin to plan for new and exciting adventures in 2018 and beyond.”<\/p>\n

Bollers brings with him more than 20 years of experience in all facets of the comics industry. A former Associate Editor and Assistant Editor at\u00a0Marvel Entertainment,<\/strong>\u00a0Bollers contributed to multiple Marvel series as a writer, including\u00a0Emma Frost<\/em>,\u00a0Soldier X<\/em>,\u00a0What If?<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0X-51: Machine Man<\/em>, and later helmed a fan-favorite, 80-issue run on Archie’s\u00a0Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em>, for which he served as both writer and colorist. Bollers’ most recent credits include Valiant’s ARCHER & ARMSTRONG with artist Clayton Henry, and New Paradigm’s nominated\u00a0Watson and Holmes<\/em>\u00a0series with artist Rick Leonardi, for which he earned a 2014 Eisner Award nomination for “Best New Series.”<\/p>\n

“I’m honored to join the crew here at Valiant and\u00a0am\u00a0greatly looking forward to working with such a talented group of comic creators, including Matt Kindt, Dougie Braithwaite, Christos Gage, Jeff Lemire, Stephen Segovia,\u00a0and more. Valiant’s approach to crafting comics, one that emphasizes quality over quantity and a dedication to audience expansion, fits lockstep with my own creative philosophy,<\/span>\u00a0and I’d like to thank Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons and Publisher Fred Pierce for allowing me the incredible opportunity to play in this sandbox of fresh and diverse characters.”
\n
\nBollers’ hire marks the latest expansion to Valiant’s editorial team, which also includes\u00a0Editor-in-Chief Warren Simons,<\/strong>\u00a0Managing Editor Robert Meyers<\/strong>, and\u00a0Editorial Assistants David Menche<\/strong>l and\u00a0Benjamin Peterson.<\/strong><\/p>\n
